Year of the Snake (2013) Chinese Astrology and Feng Shui Guide

                         Certain helpful, logical and practical Chinese customs, organisational principles and beliefs about life improvement are recommended. Advancing your understandings of 5 topics joined by 5 common elements enables you to achieve enlightenment across 5 inter linked key areas during Yin Black Water Snake Year 2013-14.

1.The Chinese Zodiac

                China considers the Snake and Water (2013 Year Animal and Element respectively) surprisingly differently from the West. Forget 'all years are the same' notions in favour of China's conviction that all differ significantly in ever-repeating cycles of 60.

                       The Chinese Zodiac's 6th Snake Sign's distinctive qualities are explored and the fortunes of those born under all 12 signs during the period are considered alongside 5 Elements influences on these and the fortunes of all every year..

2.The 5 Elements/ 'Wuxing'

                     Relating forecasts and horoscopes of all Chinese Zodiac Signs for the period to the 'Wuxing' enables their overview. Better acquaintance with Chinese 5 Element/ 'Wuxing' Theory enhances your understanding of Feng Shui, Chinese Astrology, Qigong and much more of Chinese culture than you first expect.

3. 5 Elements Feng Shui

                    Exploration of the 'art of placement's' Wealth-links to Water, Snake Year (2013-14) Year Element leads to Feng Shui 'Wealth Enhancers' like the Chan Chu's use and topical Feng Shui advice for the period. Broad, balanced guidelines will help those interested in 5 Elements Interior and Exterior (including garden) Feng Shui get their studies underway.

4. 5 Elements Qigong

                     This eBook's insights and straightforward practical instructions encourage readers to pursue the many benefits of Qigong. A popular Chinese anti-aging, health, longevity and youthfulness-bringing Art, Qigong utilises the same 5 Elements to achieve these ends and 5 Elements Qigong's many advantages are presented clearly.

5. Chinese New Year 

                           The 5 Elements and the Animals exert surprising influences upon events at this time. Insights into Festival customs and traditions of this world-wide event include explanation of how its changing dates are determined accompany insights into its celebration.

Overall

                        Fire, Earth, Water, Metal and Wood, the 5 Elements or 'Wuxing' link all the above areas together (and much more). Their influences change with their Yin/ Yang modes modulating the essential nature of the predominant Year Animal (and the year's nature) in continuously repeating cycles.

                                As China and the East view both Dragon and Snake very differently from western 'wicked serpent' biblical stereotypes fundamental 'mind-set' re-orientations may follow reading this eBook. Subtle changes in the Water Year Element influences after Yang Water Dragon's replacement by Yin Water Snake Year on 10th Feb 2013 will affect events, circumstances and individuals according to the Snake Sign's specific attributes and those of their birth year Animal and Element.

'                           Year of the Snake (2013) Chinese Astrology & Feng Shui Guide' (1) contributes to the West's growing fund of knowledge about these associated Chinese beliefs and customs. Improved happiness, health and fortune via closer 'attunement' to each Year's energies are traditionally associated with their practical pursuit.
